Ase-AmenRa Kariamu will perform an "Afrikan Drum Solo" as an introduction to the Danbury Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra, with guest musicians from the Danbury Community Orchestra, will perform three movements from Holst's "The Planets" -- Mars, bringer of war; Venus, bringer of peace; and Jupiter, bringer of jollity -- under the direction of Ariel Rudiakov.

James E. Humphreville, music director emeritus of the Danbury Symphony, will conduct the symphony in the overture from Nicolai's "Merry Wives of Windsor" and the "Emperor's Waltz" by Johannes Strauss Jr.
